N  PRESENTING  this  Souvenir  of  our  twenty-fifth  Anniversary  in  the  live 
stock  commission  business,  we  desire  to  thank  our  friends  and  patrons 
for  the  liberal  support  and  patronage  extended  to  us  during  the  past 
quarter  of  a  century. 

On  the  twelfth  day  of  December,  1873,  Henry  C.  Ingwersen  and 
Charles  H.  Ingwersen  organized  the  firm  of  Ingwersen  Brothers,  and  issued 
the  following  circular  letter  to  their  friends  throughout  the  West: 

••  UNION  STOCK  YARDS,  CHICAGO,  ILL.,  Dec.  12,   1873. 

••We  take  the  liberty  of  informing  you  that  we  have  this  day  established  a  commission 
business  for  the  sale  of  cattle,  hogs  and  sheep,  at  the  Union  Stock  Yards,  Chicago  and  beg  leave 
to  solicit  your  patronage.  A  long  business  experience  as  dealers  in  live  stock  enables  us  to 
promise  that  every  consignment  of  live  stock  that  may  be  entrusted  to  us  shall  be  attended  to 
with  the  utmost  punctuality. 

"As  to  any  inquiries  you  may  wish  to  make  respecting  our  character  and  financial  standing, 
we  have  the  honor  to  refer  you  to  Wm.  F.  Coan.  Esq.,  President  Clinton  National  Bank,  Clinton, 
Iowa,  and  Wm.  Holmes,  Esq.,  Cashier  First  National  Bank.  Lyons,  Iowa. 

••  Hoping  that  we  shall  soon  have  the  pleasure  of  hearing  from  you,  and  that  our  relations 
may  become  mutually  beneficial,  we  have  the  honor  to  be. 

Respectfully, 

INGWERSEN   BROS." 

Twenty-five  years  have  passed  since  issuing  the  above  circular,  during  which  time  our 
business  has  steadily  grown.  We  attribute  our  success  to  the  good  will  and  kind  efforts  of  our 
many  friends,  who  have  recommended  our  firm  whenever  opportunities  presented,  and  we 
wish  to  extend  our  sincerest  thanks  for  the  kind  assistance  given  our  firm  during  the  past,  and 
hope  the  same  courtesies  will  be  shown  us  in  the  tuture 


^•>l 


On  the  first  day  of  July,  1893,  Mr.  John  W.  Smith,  well  known  throughout  the  West  as 
an  extensive  feeder  and  dealer  in  live  stock,  and  familiar  with  the  different  branches  of 
the  trade,  was  admitted  to  partnership,  and  the  firm  name  changed  to  Ingwersen  Brothers 
&  Smith. 

Recognizing  the  importance  of  the  Omaha  market,  we  deemed  it  advisable  to  open  a 
branch  office  at  that  point,  thus  enabling  us  to  secure  the  patronage  of  our  customers  who 
favor  that  market.  Our  salesmen  at  Omaha  are  experienced  and  competent,  and  we  assure 
those  entrusting  our  Omaha  branch  with  the  consignment  of  their  stock  prompt  and  reliable 
services 

On  the  pages  of  this  Souvenir  will  be  found  a  series  of  portraits  of  the  principal 
buyers  on  this  market,  whose  faces  have  become  familiar  to  many  of  our  patrons. 

As  only  verbal  agreements  are  made  between  buyer  and  seller  in  the  transaction 
of  business  at  the  yards,  it  is  not  surprising  that  an  occasional  misunderstanding  occurs, 
but  we  take  pleasure  in  acknowledging  that  the  conduct  of  the  buyers  towards  us  has 
always  been  honorable  in  every  respect. 

We  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  "ANNUAL  HIGH  SALES."  These  figures  have  been 
carefully  compiled  from  our  books,  and  represent  the  highest  cattle  sales  made  by  us 
during  each  year. 

Assuring  our  friends  that  our  business  will  be  conducted  in  the  future  as  in  the  past, 
and  trusting  that  our  patrons  will  continue  favoring  us  with  their  consignments,  we  remain, 

With  Compliments  of  the  Season, 

t 

INGWERSEN  BROTHERS  &  SMITH.
